Car rim / tire question

and i asked what "performance" is "sacrificed", and all i got was "i heard from this guy who's banging my mom."

 

mark the date.

i agree with mongo, and he agrees with me.

 

i guess it's okay. my feeling is the nostalgia will wear off, and you'll left to feel like you do when you see the (what was then) the new "beetle".

 

Yeah it does.

Alex asked about wheels, and I said that in that particular instance putting bigger wheels on his car, wouldn't make sense. On top of that I added, that I have heard that 16 inch rims are the biggest option you really need, and still retain optimum handling.

Then Brad jumps in about how the Corvette has bigger wheels, at which point I explained to him it's because of asthetics and having to accomodate for larger brakes.

You guys don't want to agree, fine. Like I said, you don't see anyone actually racing cars, run anything over 16's. The one's that do, have to due to brakes. Last but not least, what size rims do F1 cars run...??? I think it's 13's on the front and 14's on the back.

So much for that argument...

Just in case I haven't made it clear. You're both wrong.

 

nope.


you still haven't explained what "sacrifices" are made by anything larger than a 16.

funny, at the grand am challenge at VIR i could swear there i saw many vettes, porsches, and prototypes with wheels larger than that.

 

Not to ad gasoline to the fire here, but as far as Z's go stock are 16's, but l have seen local muppets put 17's, 18's, even 19's on them. Go figure. I am getting confused on this car crap, maybe I should stick with bikes

 

Wait a minute, I suck at that too

 

And the Honda S2000 used to come with 16's too.

Until they gave in to the bling, bling effect and took it from a serious sports car, to a woman's convertible.

It's okay Brad, keep riding on them 18's if it makes your dick big.

 

at least my dick is big.

vette handles great. but ah...... if it only had 16's. :up:

 

Re: at least my dick is big.

And if only you had a clue, this could have actually been an interesting argument. :up:

 

this from an asshole that TRIED to roadrace a fox body mustang? HAH HA HA HA HA!!

that car came stock with 15's.... you shoulda been the MAN!!!

and just what do you drive now?

 

Re: this from an asshole that TRIED to roadrace a fox body mustang? HAH HA HA HA HA!!

It came stock with 16's, dumbfuck.

You're cure when you're mad, though.

 

nope, not 16's.

not stock anyhow.

 

Good choice.

 

Yep, 16's are stock:

for clarification, are you actually saying that a fox body mustang came stock with 16's?

if so.... the clueless one would be you.

 

Alex he's talking about my old Mustang.

Yeah, it was. Stock Pony's on a 1991 GT. Sucks to be wrong, huh...
